Chasing The Night by Iris Johansen

A CIA agent’s two-year-old child was stolen in the night as a brutal act of vengeance. Now, eight years later, this torment is something Catherine Ling awakens to every day. Her friends, family, and colleagues tell her to let go, move on, accept that her son is never coming back. But she can’t. Catherine needs to find someone as driven and obsessed as she is to help her— and that person is Eve Duncan. She knows that Eve shares her nightmare, since closure is also something that eludes Eve after the disappearance of her daughter Bonnie. Now, Eve must take her talents as a forensic sculptor to another level, using age progression as a way to unite Catherine with her child. As Eve gets drawn deeper into Catherine’s horror, she must face looming demons of her own.
Bonnie’s killer is still out there. And a new killer is taunting Eve and Catherine at every turn. Is Catherine’s son alive, or not? These two women endure the worst fear any mother can imagine in Iris Johansen’s latest thrill ride, a gut-wrenching journey into the darkest places of the soul.

After a few bombs and forcing myself to get through the series just so I could be done with it a gem has finally reappeared and I'm completely back on track with the series.

Maybe it's because I was growing weary with the focus on the search for Bonnie and in Chasing the Night the focus was on a brand new character who, though very similar to Eve was also very much her own person. Catherine Ling was strong, vulnerable, charismatic, honest and vicious. She's one of the first new characters who isn't just a rude, obnoxious, selfish jerk and it was like a breath of fresh air. Kelly was also a great new addition to the cast. The whole setting kind of reminded me of when Jane first showed up on the scene.

Joe was toned down and instead of being just overly protective of Eve he was proactive and determined to help someone other than Eve. Eve didn't sit along the sidelines trying to get around Joe either, she fought and held her ground.

But in the end, literally, the last sentence kind of blew my mind and I am SO GLAD I have the next book, Eve, sitting on my bookshelf right now! Having to wait to get my hands on it probably would have driven me insane!

Thank you Iris Johansen for renewing my faith in the Eve Duncan series!
